Chapter 1610: Sincere Treatment

Cao Guoli was too impatient, and at this time he also reacted.

"You must do a good job of hospitality. The hospitality expenses for all of them this time will be borne by the city. Also, the hospitality meal tomorrow morning must be done well, and you must let Zhou Andong see our sincerity."

"I understand!" Wang Yuhai said: "I will study the menu with the head chef in a while, and guarantee that the guests will be satisfied."

"Tomorrow is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, don't forget the tangyuan." Cao Guoli revealed a smile on his face: "That's it, you go get busy."

Cao Guoli put down the phone, and immediately picked it up again, quickly dialing a string of numbers.

"Secretary Yang..."

…………………………

February 24, 1994, the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Lantern Festival!

Zhou Andong got up before six o'clock, washed up simply, and as soon as he opened the room door, he saw a figure standing at the door, which startled him. Looking closely, it was guesthouse manager Wang Yuhai.

"Wang Jingli, you are..."

Wang Yuhai said with a face full of smiles: "Chairman Zhou, our Secretary Yang and Mayor Cao have been at the guesthouse since five o'clock, wanting to meet you."

Zhou Andong was very helpless. Last night he anticipated that such a situation might occur, so he arranged to leave before 7:30, when the sky was just bright, which was just right.

What he didn't expect was that the Golmud Secretary and Mayor came to block him at five o'clock. Under such circumstances, no matter how urgent the matter was, he had to meet them.

At this time, the room door next to him also opened, it was Wu Hongkang, who laughed when he saw the two.

"Wang Jingli, so early, you are too dedicated."

Wang Yuhai said with a smile: "Our Secretary and Mayor are here, wanting to meet the bosses. I know you have been rushing on the road for several days and are very tired, so I have been guarding outside and didn't dare to disturb you."

Wu Hongkang laughed: "You guarding outside, are you afraid we'll run away?"

"There is a bit of that." Wang Yuhai nodded very honestly: "Our Golmud is too poor. For the past two years, we have racked our brains to attract investment, but people don't even come. Even if they come, they just go through the motions, don't even talk, it's really too difficult..."

Speaking to the point of emotion, Wang Yuhai's voice choked up.

"Just for your honesty, we will go over and meet your city leaders."

Wu Hongkang had eaten quite a few sweet things following Zhou Andong, and as long as there was an opportunity, he would definitely not miss it.

Anyway, no matter where he invested, no matter what project he invested in.

As long as Zhou Andong invested, he would follow, and if Zhou Andong didn't invest, he would turn around and leave.

In short, follow Director Zhou's footsteps, and you'll have meat to eat and wine to drink.

Then door after door opened, and Zhang Shenghui, Gu Bing, Xiaobei, Xu Baowei, and the others all got up.

"Let's go!" Zhou Andong greeted them: "The Golmud Secretary and Mayor invited us to sit for a while."

On the second floor of the guesthouse, Secretary Yang Libin and Cao Guoli were sitting opposite each other on the sofa, and the tea in the cups in front of them had already cooled.

"Old Cao, we would rather suffer a loss than let him leave."

Cao Guoli gave a bitter smile: "The important thing is, besides the Salt Lake, what else does our home have to show, to let people stay?"

Yang Libin gritted his teeth and said: "As long as Zhou Andong stays to invest, if he wants the Salt Lake, then give it to him."

Cao Guoli was stunned: "Secretary, are you serious?"

"Can't be truer."

Yang Libin picked up the teacup and drank several gulps, then put the teacup down heavily.

"Put taxes aside first, as long as he can recruit more workers and give our Golmud people a chance to work."

"Clap!" Cao Guoli slapped his thigh: "With your words, I'll go all out today, and even if I have to make a scene, I'll keep Zhou Andong."

Yang Libin laughed loudly: "You make a scene, I'll light his cigarette and pour his tea."

"Clap, clap, clap..."

The door of the meeting room was knocked, and Yang Libin said: "Coming!"

"I'll open the door." Cao Guoli got up and came to the door, opening it.

"Mayor!" Wang Yuhai didn't expect Cao Guoli to open the door personally: "Chairman Zhou and the others are here."

"Please come in, please come in."

Cao Guoli moved his body very enthusiastically and made a gesture of invitation.

Wang Yuhai hurriedly moved aside, and Zhou Andong and a few others entered the meeting room.

Yang Libin also greeted them: "Bosses, welcome to Golmud as guests."

Wang Yuhai introduced both sides, and Yang Libin held Zhou Andong's hand tightly, very afraid that he would run away.

"Mayor Cao called me last night, saying that the Ali region had a snow disaster, and the Yugong Group motorcade transporting disaster relief supplies was staying at the city guesthouse.

After I heard it, I immediately wanted to come over, but Mayor Cao said you had been rushing on the road for several days and had already rested, so I put down the idea of seeing you immediately. But last night, I had insomnia.

Golmud is very poor, located in the middle of the Eurasian continent, with complex landforms, plateau climate, less rain, more wind, drought, long and cold winters, and cool and short summers.

The average annual rainfall is only 41.5 millimeters, but the evaporation is as high as 3,000 millimeters or more. The natural conditions are harsh, and transportation is not so convenient. So for the past two years, no one has been willing to come here to invest."

Zhou Andong was stunned for a moment. Attracting investment, of course, is to hide the bad things as much as possible and show the best side to the other party.

But it was completely the opposite here. Just now Wang Yuhai was also very honest, which he could understand as Wang Yuhai not being familiar with attracting investment.

But Secretary Yang Libin was also so honest, exposing his own shortcomings, which really surprised Zhou Andong.

"Everyone sit down." Cao Guoli let everyone sit down, and Wang Yuhai was busy, pouring tea for everyone.

Yang Libin sat down: "Chairman Zhou, do you feel that what I said doesn't sound like attracting investment, but rather wanting to push investors out?"

"Indeed!" Zhou Andong laughed: "Golmud is Xining to the east, Dunhuang to the north, and Lhasa to the south. The geographical location is very important, and it is a transit station to Xinjiang, Tibet, and other places.

In addition, the Nuomuhong culture, dating back more than 2,700 years, is probably from the Western Zhou Dynasty, has a deep historical and cultural heritage, and the mineral resources are also very rich. Since it is attracting investment, of course, it is to show advantages and hide disadvantages."

Yang Libin shook his head slightly: "It is an objective fact that Golmud's natural conditions are poor. Everyone knows this, so I think it's better to be honest."

Regardless of whether it is an objective fact that Golmud's natural conditions are poor, at least Yang Libin's honesty touched Zhou Andong.

"Chairman Zhou!" Cao Guoli said: "You know our Golmud very well."

How could he not know? In his previous life, Zhou Andong had been to Tibet five times.

Among them, he took the Qinghai-Tibet line twice. The first time was very hurried, and he stayed in Golmud for a day.

But the second time, he stayed here for more than ten days, and every place here had his footprints.

"I have always wanted to go to Lhasa to see, the Qinghai-Tibet line is the best to walk, so I simply understood the cities along the way." ===== CHAPTER 1611 =====
